This incredible mosaic, by Arthur Gugick, depicts Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and it is gorgeous. Not only does it convey the beauty of the actual painting, but the colors achieved by overlaying the solid-colored plates with transparent ones gives it such an wonderful array of rich color tones. I have seen a lot of excellent Continue reading →
Katie Walker is the undisputed ruler of the cheese slope. Give her a random pile of them and the odd handful of 1×1 plates, tiles or bricks and awesome things start to happen. You have to check out her latest. I keep thinking that she is going to run out of new techniques or ideas Continue reading →
I’m going to let this picture by Todd Wilder speak for itself. I need to go lay down because it’s making my head spin. If this could actually be built this way, I would need several of them. Too cool. You can see the actual creation here. While it is cool, I think it is Continue reading →
LEGOLAND California Master Model Maker Ryan Ziegelbauer built a mosaic of a Junior Model Maker contest winner, which he captured in this time-lapse video. Now that you’ve watched it once, watch the video again for all the funny animations in the background, including an homage to a recent blastoff into space.
Something along the lines of “incredible”, “stunning” or “out-standing” may be in order. Rakanishu’s mosaic of Mr. Spock is a great homage to the Enterprise’s first mate and science officer. Can we describe a Lego creation as logical? I think we can.
This mosaic, by Andy, is a real eye-catcher. I love the split view of MegaMan and the background gives it a great look.
This gorgeous mosaic of Tolkien’s Doors of Durin is simply incredible. Karyn did a wonderful job of capturing the look and feel of the doors. On top of that, the whole thing is done with Modulex. As far as I can tell, this is only the second time we have highlighted a Modulex build here Continue reading →
I’m consistently wowed by the geometric designs that Katie Walker fiddles with and frequently shares. It’s extra rewarding when she incorporates the results of her experiments into beautiful architecture like this grand staircase and mosaic floor.
I must say I agree with Chris Doyle: octopus (or in this case, squid), are very cool animals. And fittingly, Chris has shown once again they make excellent subjects for mosaics.
He wears it for all kinds of reasons, but especially because he’s awesome. A mosaic of Johnny Cash by .cHris.tOpHeR..
Did you know that the red ghost in Pac-Man was named “Blinky”? Ean (Arpy) knew that, and built a lovely mosaic using Technic pins axles instead of bricks. Wakka wakka wakka!
The Lee Family has been knocking out some pretty fun creations lately. My personal favorites are the Celtic mosaics, but you should check out the portrait of the Dalai Lama as well. Bruce interviewed Craig Lee recently and has posted part of the conversation on the front page of Classic Castle.
With Halloween approaching, Douglas Hill creates a chilling mosaic that uses so many shades of colors that I lost my head trying to keep track of them all. Can you identify all the brick colors that were used? I’ll bet it ain’t easy. Thanks for the tip Chip Philson! ;)
This 3d mosiac by Douglas Hill is quite unusual. I keep staring at it and I like it more and more all the time. The whole is made of headlight bricks with jewels stuck in them, and then lit from the back. Wish I’d thought of it…
Brandon Griffith (icgetaway) displayed two knockout mosaics at BrickCon last October. In addition to their enormous proportions (scale picture 1 and 2), these mosaics are constructed from effective and unusual building techniques. The first, called See Your Enemy, depicts the scene from the Matrix when Neo sees the real representation of Agent Smith. The mosaic Continue reading →
